3146 Error, and Invalid Argument Value errorI have recently upsized a client database to SQL Server.
The application is used to book people onto courses at a Conference
Centre/Adult Study Centre.
It was originally an Access FE/BE, all written by my client. While
it's not bad as an "amateur" database, it has all the expected
failings of the inexperienced developer (poor table design, queries
operating on whole tables, macros running hither and yon mixed with
code etc.)
The FE resides on a server, and all users (about four or five at most)
connect to it. The BE resides on a different server.
Recently, the users have been getting intermittent ODBC error messages
- mostly 3146 ODBC Call Failed, but also
ODBC Call Failed
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Invalid Argument Value (#0)
What makes this very difficult to diagnose is that the errors are not
persistent. Yesterday, for example, certain processes threw 3146
errors constantly. Today, the same processes run without problems.
What I would REALLY like to do is to rationalise/normalise the data
design, move ALL the macros to code and redesign all the queries.
Sadly their budget is very limited.
Does anyone have any ideas about how to resolve the immediate,
intermittent problem?
Many thanks
Edward
you should have upsized to ADP instead of linked front end.
Jet doesn't give concise, clear reliable error messages.
Only through cutting out the Jet _BS_ can you get to the root of the
problem.

What do you mean?

The original string has no sense in JavaScript.

You seem already found this error - a quote is missing, must be

I've had my round with this page for the past few days and can't
figure out why I'm getting this error. Any help would be wonderful.
When you mouse over stuff in IE you get an Invalid Argument error.
http://65.61.134.86/tour.asp?ctSelect=0
The code that it shows me when it breaks is:
function zot_on(zid){
if(zid != zotOn){
//Breaks here
$("ct_zot_"+zid).style.backgroundImage = "url('/images/ct_zot_" +
zid + ".jpg');"
$("ct_zot_"+zid).style.backgroundRepeat = "no-repeat;"
}
}

Invalid Argument with IEI wrote this function to open a pop-up window and it works great on

Javascript error reporting for IEI have written some Javascript that works perfectly in Firefox - no
errors reported. The dreaded MSIE 6 produces nothing but a long line
of 'undefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefined ....'
Each 'undefined' represents a text node or element I have interted
into the DOM. As far as I can see I have declared all variables and
asigned values so I just can't see what is wrong.
Unfortunately the error reporting in MSIE is very poor indeed. The
line number it reports , for the 'error', is not of any use because
I have my javascripts in separate file to the html.

Invalid Argument error on boot
I have a SunFire V210 which is spitting out a "Invalid Argument" error
during boot. The error occurs immediately following the "normal" error
messages you get when loading the volume manager on Solaris 9:

WARNING: forceload of misc/md_raid failed
WARNING: forceload of misc/md_hotspares failed

I had recently made a bunch of changes to the security configuration of
the system. My guess is I fat-fingered something and didn't catch it. Any
tips for finding out exactly where this is occuring?...

Access Query and Invalid Argument ErrorHi,
I have very serious problem with query in Access.
I have, in my DB, a lot of forms with some buttons that I use to do
query.
When I press that buttons and query start I have "Invalid Argument"

If the type field is memo why I have this error? How I make to resolve
this problem?

CompactDatabase fails with Invalid Argument errorHello.
For years I've been using the DBEngine.CompactDatabase code to make
backups of backend databases. But now I've struck a baffling problem
where I get an Invalid Argument error. This happens on an XPHome machine
with both A97 and A2000 installed.
I simplified the code and the error still occurs. In the following new
test database containing only this procedure, dbSource refers to a brand
new database with no objects which is closed. dbDest does not yet exist.
On the last line I get the error message 'Invalid Argument'. The same
happens if I leave the dbLangGeneral out.
Dim dbSource As String, dbDest As String
dbSource = "C:\oj\aa\development\DBSource.mdb"
dbDest = "C:\oj\aa\development\DBDest.mdb"
DBEngine.CompactDatabase dbSource, dbDest, dbLangGeneral
Any suggestions?
Owen Jenkins
I've since found that this problem is related to having A97 and A2000 on the
same machine. The compact process works OK in A2000 on a machine with only
A2000, and works OK in A97 on a machine with only A97. It also works OK in
A2000 on a machine with both A97 and A2000, but on the same machine, it
doesn't work in A97.
So having A2000 on the same machine, prevents the A97 compact process
working.
Any ideas why? It doesn't appear to be a references issue.

makeconnection errors: "Invalid argument"Having a problem I could find nothing on using Google.
I'm getting a -lot- of the following errors in my maillog:

xxxx being almost every single mail server I try to send mail to. From
one sendmail server to another it'll even do this. It'll fail the
first try, and on the second try it'll go through.
It doesn't do this with mail that stays on the server, but from the
best I can tell (and from numerous test messages) it'll do this with
every single outgoing message.
Anybody know how I can fix this? Mail still seems to get where it's
going, but needing to resend each message twice has got to be slowing
things down.

Javascript and IE? Javascript and C#?While my question might be simple, the environment around it is
terribly messy and so I will try to keep this clear and simple by only
including the relevant code - however, as I will soon suggest, I worry
that the problem isnt in what would seem to be the relevant code but
instead is lost somewhere in the do-and-donts of the peripheral code.
So at the end, i'll try to include all the affected code and you can
see if any of its actually relevant. I know there is a lot going on...
sorry, but I tried to write this clearly.
So here is what I imagine to be relevant. I'm working with a page that
uses a very simple javascript function change the style of an <li>
element (display=block;). The code is simple...which is why I cant
understand my problem. This function is being called by <body

function fop()

var dropDown = document.getElementById("region");
var firstName = dropDown.name;
var fload = document.getElementById(firstName);
fload.style.display = "block";

iptables
Hello everyone,
Why does this entry below result in a iptables error message?
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.0.0/24 -j MASQUERADE
Results in "iptables: invalid argument"
And where might I find any documentation on the error messages for iptables?
Thanks

One thing I can think of is that the nat table is not supported by Your
kernel. - In /var/log/messages, You might see a corresponding message.
Try lsmod and in Your kernel tree, see /net/ipv4/netfilter for the names
of the modules that You might need, especially all *nat* modules.
Then, You could try to insmod or modprobe these modules, where the ones
starting with "iptable_*" are the tables, "ipt_*" with capital letters
are Your targets and all others are matches.
This will also help with Your problem in the other thread You started.
Cheers, Jack.

Here's how to start. I'll assume the command [package require foo]
returns that error.
First, find out what versions of "foo" are known to the package system
with [package versions foo].
Look through those versions and determine which one Tcl is trying to
provide. This depends on what's available, what requirement you've
specified, etc. If you don't know how to do this, write again with
more actual detail. Let's say you determine Tcl is trying to provide
"foo 2.3".
Next, find out what script is registered to provide "foo 2.3", with
[package ifneeded foo 2.3]. That will return the script which is
raising the error, and you can continue debugging of that script.
I expect that the script will look something like
[load /path/to/foo23.dll Foo], and the actual problem is that Tcl's
[load] command does not like your foo23.dll file. It's unforunate
that the system loader doesn't give a more meaningful error message
than it does, but the problem is in the dll. Review the expectations
of both Tcl and your system for such [load]able thin...

IE form.submit() proudces invalid syntax errorHi all.
I'm trying to diagnose/solve a problem with internet explorer, whereby
sometimes the form submits, and other times IE produces an 'invalid
syntax' error.
First, I have a form, and within the form is a button bar and a <div>
block which contains a table of parameters. The div block is used to
create a layer.
Now, when the table contains 15 or less rows in it, any button on the
button
bar which calls form.submit() works as it should, however, where the
table has 16 or more rows, the form.submit generates an "invalid
syntax" error. IE doesnt provide any more detail on this error.
Mozilla/Netscape works as expected regardless of the number of rows.
I am using IE 6.0.2600.0000 but have also tried on other versions of
IE 6
and get the same results.
The code is as follows:
function _runButton()
{
document.getElementById('count_groups_form').submit();

south when I load it in code. I've written all the parms to Debug.Print and
then pasted them into a manual invocation of the query one-by-one and it worked

Sounds like a case where the compilation of the query was out of
synch with the SQL text of the query. I've seen that and the
solution you found has always been the only way to fix it.
However, do note that it's possible with queries that exhibit that
problem to have it recur in the new query, as well. There appear to
